Introduction

While in Athens, for the Olympic Games, I had this light yet rich flavored soup at Iliosporo on Ermou Street. They deserve a Gold medal for their straight forward traditional Greek fare. When you make Soupa Avgolemono try a Cretan Salad called Dakos. Made with deliciously marinated artichokes and served in a barley rusk. I use a twice “baked” bread bowl.

Avgolemono is supposed to have eggs in it. I married into a Greek family and that's how I was taught to make it. I've never seen the soup made without eggs, but since I love anything lemon I may try this!
